Piper - 42nd Street

Текст песни

Keep the faith child, whatcha say to me
Ah, let me tell ya what those pretty eyes can’t see
You’re carousin' over London town
You got some cheshire cats chasin' you around
Me, I’m sittin' on my window seat
I watch the ladies down on 42nd street
I’m a man of reputation
I would never steal your pride
I’m a man of obligation
I don’t need to hide
I’m sore for drinkin', oh its been so long
My nights seem endless and I’m really not that strong
And I can see you, have you in my sleep
But nightmares from the bottle, they ain’t hardly fit to keep, no
In my trials and tribulations
I have never been in doubt
I don’t feign intimidation
I can’t do without
So now I’m sittin', wearin' through my pants
Too much sufferin' and not enough romance
Now I’m hangin' from my window seat
Drool on the ladies down on 42nd street
I’m a man of reputation
I would never make you pay
I’m in need of some relations
Just can’t stand another day
I’m a man of consternation
I can’t stand to be alone
I’m a victim of temptation
You best not leave me on my own
You just might be sorry honey
